Bíonn roinnt comhlogaíochtaí 100% seasta, agus smaoinítear orthu mar aonaid shingile shéimeantacha ( páipéar uaine, Cothrom na Féinne ), agus bíonn cinn eile comhdhéanta ach gan a bheith seasta ( {sliabh ard, { i} ard teocht, ardFheis, {ard mheán lae).

Most of the classification systems described above obey J.R. Firth's 1957 assertion that you'll know a word by the company it keeps. In other words, semantics is all about word usage and the language system. In terms of being adjacent, words keep company in collocations. Some collocations are 100% fixed, and can be thought of as single semantic units (big bang, take place), while others are compositional but not fixed (high mountain, high temperature, high spirits, high noon).
